Bookshop zum Wetzstein

The Wetzstein bookshop is not only a place where people, books and ideas meet, but also a piece of Freiburg's history. The Haus zum Wetzstein, which dates back to 1100, is located in the picturesque old town of Freiburg.

An independent bookshop that has been shaping literary life in Freiburg since 1978, in a house dating back to the 12th century - in many ways, this place feels like a little trip back in time. Carefully curated new publications stand alongside classics of philosophy, handwritten poems and special antiquarian treasures. The written word is still celebrated here and enthusiasm for literature is celebrated in a classic way.
